So Hillary, in 2016 it came down, as it always has, to you being a woman; but your defeat was set in motion years earlier
The “good old boys” were all over you from the get go, that pack of Pavlov’s dogs. So by the time 2016 rolled around, no matter how many good things you’d done over the course of a life devoted to public service, the “good old boys” had framed your story; a very low political calculation indeed.
There was no good in the bad they’d concocted. And to show just how effective there twisted storytelling had been, we, your supporters, were their willing accomplices, wincing, then apologetic even as we voiced our support for you.
Do you remember what happened?
Do you know what happened?
What do you think happened?
What happened was most certainly your fault.
What happened was way beyond your control.
What happened happened.
That’s what happened.
